Description Dimitris Glezos 2007-06-15 02:33:13 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Firefox returns locales with dashes (eg. pt-BR) instead of underscores (pt_BR), and so a LINGUAS file with underscored locales can't be matched against.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Add pt_BR in LINGUAS, pt_BR.po, make
2. Install Quick Locale Switcher Addon in firefox and select pt-BR

Actual results:
Pages don't show up in Brazilian Portuguese.

Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

Fixes language selection

So this is a quick hack to temporarily get the whole list in dashes instead of underscores. This could create a problem if you had both underscores and dashes, but we don't have that. The correct thing would be to modify the library used for matching.

Fixed in rev. 387. Thanks Dimitris.
